I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

  1. Have the ability to create templates in my queries?

    It would be nice to click on a template query and get a new copy of that query, rather than edit the query itself. Perhaps a right-click on the query in the "My Queries" tab would let you open/clone the query without having to open the original, clone it, close it, then do what you wanted to do in the first place.

    FYI, I can't live without this LinqPad.

    Probably Just Me (and I think I could do it myself using MSCHart Add in). but sometimes I would like to be able to do very simple charts of my queries results. Scatter, Block Chart and May Be Pie Chart would probably be enough. like a light weight matlab....

  3. Add a link to the app in programs menu on install

    I was a little surpursed when i installed the app that it was not in the program list. Granted it is small and i typically use the autocomplete to find and launch apps but it does make me question future maintenance, uninstall and clean up issues.

  5. Ability to set Headers for WCF Data Services to test things like API keys, etc

    Would be nice to be able to use LINQPad to test WCF Data Services with the ability to set HTTP Request Header variables as part of the connection settings. That way we could simulate passing a value like an API Key in the Header.

  7. Make shift-click in the results pane collapse/expand all boxes of the same "class"

    For example, when querying with a group by clause with multiple keys, shift+click the Key field make all Key properties collapse or expand.

  9. Export and import preferences and connections

    I use LINQPad on three different computers. It would be very helpful to be able to export the preferences and connections from one so they can be imported into another instance.

  10. Ability to synchronize "My Queries " on the cloud/web

    I am using Linqpad in diffrent machines. Was wondering is there anyway to sync "My Queries" through some service. Or may be we can use SkyDrive/Azure/Amazon kind of thing?

  11. Provide a method to select a database (from the droplist) via code in c# statements mode

    I'd like a method (maybe exposed via the LINQPad object) to change the data context to any of those present in the 'Add Connection' pane.

    As we know linq cannot perform cross database (cross data context) joins. To cope with this, in Visual Studio, I often use one data context, obtain data into a table or array, then switch to another data context, obtain more data, then fuse the result sets.

    This is simple enough in VS, but in LINQPad I cannot work out how to change the data context via code in C# Statements mode; the only way I…

  14. Turn OFF or allow customize keyboard shortcuts

    I just bought the autocompletion but I'm disappointed by the fact that LinqPad catches key combinations that I use to enter polish national characters (namely ALT-S). I'd like to be able to turn off this keyboard shortcut or redefine it. The ALT-something shortcuts are very risky as Windows often uses them for the national characters. And it's annoying when instead of just entering a letter into the editor window it activates SQL panel. PLEASE fix it.

  17. Source Control Integration

    It would be great if LP could support source control integration using the SCC-compatible source control interface (Ex. Beyond Compare 3).

  19. Implement auto-save on compile.

    I am so used to the 'save on compile' option in Visual Studio, that I can't get into the habit of saving in Linqpad until I have finished or closing linqpad (and since Linqpad is so useful it never gets closed).

    This has resulted in me losing work several times.

    Would it be hard to add an option to save files to the temporary folder when a query is run.
    Don't need there is a need to attempt to recover the files, as I can go looking for them.

    Thanks

  20. Add Table Name to Tab

    It would be nice to have the tab name be the name of the table when running the pre-defined right-click queries instead of query n.
